SUMMARY:Purchasing Power: How Government Can Lead the Way to a Sustainable Economy
DESCRIPTION:Does the public sector hold the key to a low-carbon and sustainable, planet healthy economy? U.S. government purchases account for nearly one-quarter of the U.S. GDP. State and local governments account for billions of dollars more. By favoring low-carbon and sustainable choices in buildings, vehicles, energy, and other purchases, the public sector can lead the way to achieving a more sustainable economy and our Paris Climate Agreement goals. Through sheer volume, governments have the power to radically expand the market for climate-friendly purchases, shift supply chain decisions, and shape consumer markets for a sustainable economy. What can you do to contribute? This webinar will: 5) Describe the current state of sustainable public purchasing 6) Identify barriers and facilitators to sustainable purchasing 7) Consider future opportunities to expand sustainable purchasing 8) Offer strategies you can use to boost the sustainability of purchases in your agency or office. Panelists announced shortly.\n
